Thoughts on Vladimir Tarasenko?

I really like what I see in this kid. He is really talented and so far no other rookie has stand out as much as he has. He has 5 points in 2 games now and each of those points were well earned. I definitely think he will win the Calder trophy this year and and get around 50-60 points for the blues. Last rookies in the first NHL season that averaged a PPG and over were Crosby, Malkin and Ovechkin. I think Tarasenko will do so this year. His play reminds me of Malkin. Your thoughts?

He's had a couple of years to develop in the KHL, 2010 draft pick. It helps quite a bit as opposed to coming in as a raw rookie.

This kid is going to be great. Smassian is really high on him as am I but I thought he wold be held back in Hitchcock's trap system. So far pretty darn good.

STL has been waiting for this guy and it looks like he was worth the wait.
